Add the number of that letter’s place in the alphabet (A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, and so on) to 1930 to determine the year. To determine the year, look at the last letter in the series.
The first two numbers in the code are the month and day – for example: “6 11” is June 11 and “12 5” is December 5. It takes a little bit of discifering to determine your tractor’s casting day, but once you catch on it’s not too hard. Of course, most parts would be seasoned for several weeks before being machined and assembled into a tractor – making the actual manufacture completion date of a tractor a month or so after the parts were cast. But if you are going to throw a birthday party, you’ve got to get more specific than that!įarmall and IH tractors have dates cast right into key parts that indicate their precise dates of “birth” (or rather, the date the parts were cast in the foundry). My app, Tractor Guide, and plenty of written guides, like what’s in the Steiner catalog or in other books, can match the year with the serial number.

Many of you probably already know how to find the year of your tractor’s manufacture by looking up the serial number. If you are looking for an excuse to celebrate your favorite tractor (and who wouldn’t?), find your tractor’s date of manufacture and throw a birthday party! Here’s how to do so for Farmall tractors. I’m sure many of you feel the same way about a special tractor that belonged to someone you care about. It’s a beauty of a tractor, and the happy memories of riding it with my grandpa make it all the more special. My mom inherited a 1939 Farmall M from my grandpa a couple of years ago.
